Neither Servants nor Soldiers But Sons and Daughters

 Neither Servants nor Soldiers But Sons and Daughters

It is so important to know your position in the Kingdom. How you see yourself in the Lord God’s Kingdom will affect how you live your life. That image creates a mental “posture” which will determine your attitude, behavior and even how you approach your Heavenly Father.
 
Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
 
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:1-7
 
Remember, the King of Heaven wants sons and daughters, not servants.  For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 NLT Religion produces servants.  It revels in the spirit of servitude.  Sons and daughters of the King see service as a privilege; religious people see it as an obligation.

Jesus came that we might "receive the full rights of sons".  This is a legal term or language.  It refers to legal rights and entitlements based on relationship of birth. We are sons and daughters of God.  Sonship is our right by creation.  Christ did not die to improve us; He died to regain and confirm us in His Kingdom.  The price He paid was not to make us worthy but to prove our worth. He came to restore the Father's sons and daughters to their rightful position: rulership as heirs of His Kingdom.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8: 14-17
 
As His children and heirs, we have His authority through the power of the Holy Spirit.

“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.“ Matthew 18:18-19
 
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Luke 10:19
 
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. John 14:12-14
 
It is absolutely vital to know your position in God’s Kingdom. Yes, we have authority as His children. We speak with the Father’s authority but He did not call us to fight the battle. The Lord God’s angels are His heavenly army! For He will command His angels in regard to you, to protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. They will lift you up in their hands, so that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:11-12 AMP
 
The Lord has made the heavens His throne; from there He rules over everything. Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out His plans, listening for each of His commands. Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve Him and do His will! Praise the Lord, everything He has created, everything in all His Kingdom. Psalm 103:19-22 NLT
 
Jesus said, “Don’t you realize that I could ask My Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and He would send them instantly?” Matthew 26:53 NLT
 
We pray and make our requests known. We pray in accordance with His Will. He sends His army to fight the battle. In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; He saved me from all my troubles. For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear Him. Psalm 34:6-7 NLT
 
Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. Daniel 10:12-13
 
Remember, if we are heirs and are destined to rule in our Father's Kingdom, then we had better learn to understand His Kingdom and how it operates.  We must learn how to think, talk, and live like Kingdom citizens.  The Kingdom is the most important message of our age and the answer to the dilemmas of ancient and modern man.

According to Jesus the Christ, everyone is trying all they can to find it and forcing their way through life to lay hold of it! The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the Kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. Luke 16:16 The problem is that the Kingdom has been buried under mountains of religiosity. Sort it out. Know the difference between what the Kingdom of God looks like and what religious doctrines and traditions look like.
 
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

Even Money Has Purpose in the Kingdom

 Even Money Has Purpose in the Kingdom

Where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable~~Dr. Munroe.  I believe that most of us have heard that quote in Kingdom teaching. We think of it in terms of our purpose and assignment. But in God's Kingdom everything has a purpose and is used by the Lord God to fulfill His Will; and that includes money--His financial provision. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is Yours, O Lord, and this is Your Kingdom. We adore You as the one who is over all things. Wealth and honor come from You alone, for You rule over everything. Power and might are in Your hand, and at Your discretion people are made great and given strength.

O our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name! But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to You? Everything we have has come from You, and we give You only what You first gave us! 1 Chronicles 29:11-14 NLT

Have you ever received money unexpectedly? Money that was above and beyond your paycheck. Sometimes they call that a windfall--​a piece of unexpected good fortune, typically one that involves receiving a large amount of money. Yes! Have you ever received a windfall? Or, found that your bank account balance was higher than you thought? I have learned and can testify as a Kingdom citizen, that when that happens God has a specific purpose for it. And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 AMP And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT God is not random and He does not do things randomly.

There is always a purpose. His unexpected financial provision has a purpose. The Lord has made everything for His own purposes... Proverbs 16:4a NLT

When God's Kingdom and His righteousness are your first priority, you are a Kingdom citizen and He knows your needs before you do. He promised that if we would seek His Kingdom and His righteousness, He would supply all that we need. 

“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to Him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

“And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.

“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today." Matthew 6:24-34 NLT

Our focus is never to be on what we need or what we feel we lack, but only on God's Kingdom and His righteousness. When we are His citizens, He always provides. We need to understand the purpose of the money He sends. If we do not properly discern its purpose, it will be abused and misused!

I can testify to this, as it has happened in my life several times over the years. Recently I was handed a few thousand dollars unexpectedly from a source I would never have expected. I would definitely call it a "windfall". Our human nature will begin to think of things we can do with this "extra money"--something we've been wanting to buy or maybe a little vacation. But I have been through this type of situation enough times to know that if my Father sent it in such a miraculous way, there is a specific purpose. About a month later, I was presented with an unexpected expense that had to be paid right away. It was for almost exactly what I had been handed the month before. God is so good...so loving and kind! He knows our needs even before they appear and makes a way where there was no way! Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 NKJV

When we don't know God's purpose for the finances--or other provisions--He gives us, we will abuse it. We will use it for our wants. Then when that surprise bill shows up, or there is a medical emergency or the job is taken away, we find ourselves in lack and must scramble to make ends meet in our own strength. In that situation, we find ourselves wishing we had held on to it! We may even wonder where God is in this crisis. God already provided but we didn't see the purpose at the time and misused it!

When you seek after money--how to get more and what you can buy with it--you will not see God's purpose for money. 

Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:23-25 NKJV

When I was younger, I was happy for the "windfall", I did not see its purpose, happily spent it, and later regretted it. But in the past twenty years, I am thankful that I have grown to recognize the purpose of the money and provisions that the Lord God sends. I know that something is coming on the horizon and He has already prepared the way. As God's Kingdom citizens, we aren't called to strive and struggle. We are called only to seek after His Kingdom and His righteousness. Our focus is to be more like Him. When we do that, it will become easier to see God's purpose for all the money and provisions He sends to us. 

Yes, in God's Kingdom, money has a God ordained purpose in our life. Know it and walk in His victory. I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous (those in right standing with God) abandoned or his descendants pleading for bread. Psalm 37:25 AMP

Money is a tool, just like a hammer, knife or saw. Each of these items has a purpose, when used in the right hands. Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist. When your eyes light on it, it is gone, for suddenly it sprouts wings, flying like an eagle toward heaven. Proverbs 23:4-5 ESV 

The words of the godly encourage many, but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense. The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:21-22 NLT

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6 ESV

The Holy Spirit Knows the Purpose and Will of God

 The Holy Spirit Knows the Purpose and Will of God

The Bible is about a King, His Kingdom, and His royal family. The Bible itself is a royal document, revealing the purpose, desire and decree of the King, as well as the activities, history, and future destiny of His children and heirs. The Bible also describes the King’s expansion program, His plan to expand His heavenly realm into His earthly territory. This is why the Lord God made this statement:  Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28 Considering all these things, the Bible is actually the constitution of His government.
 
As we read in chapter one of Genesis, the Lord God brought His heavenly realm into this earthly territory by establishing an outpost which contained His garden called Eden. Then He created Adam and Eve as caretakers and administrators to rule the earthly realm as He ruled in Heaven. The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men. Psalm 115:16 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet. Psalm 8:6 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26
 
Keep in mind; God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden as its stewards and caretakers. I call them king and queen of the earthly domain. They were gardeners but they weren’t master gardeners. The master gardener was the Holy Spirit who, unlike them, had been present and instrumentally involved in the creation. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2  The Spirit of God was present and the primary agent in the physical realm, including the Garden of Eden. Ambassador John stated:  In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through Him, and nothing was created except through Him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone. John 1:1-4 NLT
 
To receive the Holy Spirit—who is our Governor in God’s Kingdom—we first must be filled with, and cleansed by, His Word. The Lord Jesus made it quite clear: You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. John 15:3
 
The Holy Spirit enacts the will of the Lord God in our lives. Enacts: to establish by legal and authoritative act, specifically, to make into law. To enact a bill. This is why it is vital to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Without Him, there is no Kingdom governmental authority operating within us. Going any other way is merely trying to accomplish His Will in your own strength. We know that ultimately that will not work out well!
 
To receive the Holy Spirit—our Governor—you must first love and be saturated with His Word, because it is His Word that will cleanse you. “If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever—the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains with you continually and will be in you.” John 14:15-17  Note that He said His Father would give you another Counselor or Helper. The primary goal of the Governor—Holy Spirit—is to execute and enact the Will of the King, meaning the Lord God. He also stated that He would be with you forever.
 
A king’s word to his citizens is his constitution. His word is law and as such is infallible and sacred. It isn’t open for debate, discussion or reversal. Remember, in a kingdom the king imposes his personal will on His citizens and it becomes law. Once again, the role of the Holy Spirit—or Governor—is to implement the King’s laws in all of the King’s territory that is under His jurisdiction. We are the Holy Spirit’s territory because He lives in us. It is a must that the Holy Spirit resides in every citizen of God’s Kingdom.
 
The Governor never speaks on His own accord, but only speaks what He has received from the Lord God—the Father and Creator of all mankind. The Holy Spirit is perfectly suited to be the Governor of the “colony” on earth because He knows perfectly the heart and mind of the King. And He knows God's Will and purpose for our life.
 
Keep in mind that this intimacy of the Holy Spirit enables Him to conform the hearts and minds of Kingdom citizens to the mind of the King. By living in every citizen, the Holy Spirit allows the government and culture of heaven to reside in us.  And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Romans 8:26-29 NLT
 
Remember, your faith is your greatest asset in the Kingdom.

The Clash of Cultures

 The Clash of Cultures

Human governments rise and fall all of the time, but the Kingdom of God stands forever.
 
Remember King Jesus’ response when a religious group called Pharisees asked Him when the Kingdom of God would come:  Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the Kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21 Yes! The Kingdom of God is within you. It's governor is the Holy Spirit.
 
For those who say that God is Lord of lords, you are saying that He owns everything by right of Him being the Creator. Those who call Him King of kings, you are acknowledging that His government and authority are above all others. As ambassador John wrote, And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:  KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:16
 
When you embrace the Kingdom concept and you are filled with His Spirit, you have a whole new culture. This Kingdom culture, in most cases, will cause you separation with your family. Jesus made that quite clear. Among the religious individuals, there will be division because they will refuse to accept the Kingdom concept and message. “I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished! Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three. Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” Luke 12:49-53
 
The religious refuse to accept the Kingdom message even though that was all He spoke of. Keep in mind, culture is stronger than politics. In order for you to change your culture into a Kingdom culture, there must be a transformation of the way you think. Ambassador Paul put it this way:  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2 That is an ongoing process.
 
Understand this, when you are born again with a new spirit, you will take on a new culture and a new way of living. Your old culture—meaning the way you used to live—meaning anything that is contrary to the King’s Word (cheating, lying, stealing, fornication--having sex without being married, gossiping, etc) That is what ambassador Paul was speaking of. Always remember that the Governor—Holy Spirit—gives you power to make the Kingdom choice. We are to make that choice over our old culture. Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.  Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them. Ephesians 5:1-7
 
I can say that I am a living example of a new culture—meaning the way I behave and live. I can also say that it has been a process, not an overnight miracle! We as Kingdom citizens should always be aware of our behavior and evaluate ourselves. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified. 2 Corinthians 13:5
 
Historically, religion has been the primary driving force behind the vast majority of our conflict in the world. Religion isn’t a peaceful prospect. Religious conflict isn’t restricted to Islam or Hinduism or any other ‘non-Western” religion. Christianity carries its own heavy burden of responsibility for religiously motivated conflict. Do you remember the Crusades of the Middle Ages with Christians and Muslims? Also, there were centuries of hostilities and persecution between Catholics and the Protestants. These are extreme examples of culture clashes in religion.
 
Denominations within the church are like little kingdoms of their own, with their own laws and traditions, jockeying for positions and power; fighting among themselves for their will to be done. In essence, they cause division and chaos among the saints. Jesus said, “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the Kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.” Matthew 23:13
 
Keep in mind, the secret to expanding Heaven’s culture on earth is to change people’s minds, to cultivate them like a garden, carefully seeding their minds with thoughts, beliefs, ideals, values and convictions of Heaven. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7  Remember ambassador Paul’s statement to the church at Ephesus:  Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from Him, throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:21-24 NLT
 
You cannot continue to live in, and be comfortable with, your old culture and also be in God’s Kingdom.
 
Remember, your greatest asset is your faith in His Word.

The Return of the King in His Kingdom

 The Return of the King in His Kingdom

​One of the greatest problems many Kingdom citizens face is that we try to reproduce the new Kingdom culture without a renewed mind. Our minds have already been tainted and corrupted by the world’s culture. We have been in the world and the world has been in us, controlling our thoughts, emotions and beliefs. When the Lord Jesus came to earth to restore His Father’s Kingdom, the first thing He had to do was clean house. He and His cousin John made this statement:  In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand!” Matthew 3:1-2  From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
 
Before He could send His Spirit to dwell in us individually, He had to wash away all manner of sin in us. His death on the cross was the “cleanup program”. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7
 
The Lord Jesus came to remove and free us from sin in order to prepare the “house” of our bodies for the return of the royal Governor—Holy Spirit—so that Heaven’s culture, meaning our original culture, could return. King Jesus made it quite clear that restoring the Kingdom and reinstating its culture on earth had nothing to do with a building or religion when He said:  Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the Kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21
 
Remember, before the Kingdom can be within us, we must be thoroughly cleansed from the inside out so that the Holy Spirit can inhabit a holy temple. Keep in mind, I am not speaking of religion, but of the return of the original legitimate government, the Kingdom of the Living God.
 
The culture of the Lord God must come back to this earth. He has called and commissioned us to make a difference in this world; not to be religious or attend religious services. We are to be filled with His presence—meaning with His Spirit. Do you recall what the Lord Jesus stated to His disciples before He went back to be with His Father?  And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”  Acts 1:4-5
 
By the way, John “the Baptist”, earthly cousin of the Lord Jesus, was given that name by religious organizations because he baptized followers. The Lord Jesus didn’t call him John the Baptist. I always state, “If people name you, they will define you”. Religious groups named him and it defined him. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, it means you have the Kingdom of the Lord God living within you. This is what happened on the day of Pentecost when they were all of one mindset. The Kingdom of the Lord God had arrived. When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:1-4
 
Also, the Lord Jesus never preached about Himself. He always preached and taught concerning the Kingdom and honored His Father. King Jesus made it very clear why He had come to earth. He said to them, “I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. Luke 4:43-44
 
Always remember that the “Bible” is all about 1) a King, 2) a Kingdom and country, and 3) a royal family. In order for you to be a citizen of a country you must be born in it. The Lord Jesus confirmed this when He spoke to Nicodemus.  Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?”
 
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:3-8
 
We have all been born of flesh, into this world. We must be born again, into the Lord God’s Kingdom.
 
Remember, your faith in the King’s Word is your most valuable asset in the Kingdom.
